Amazon is offering a great deal on a compact air purifier that would be great for your workstation or gaming desk area. Right now, you can get a Levoit 200S-P HEPA Smart Air Purifier for just $69.99 with free delivery after a $20 off instant discount. This little purifier is meant to be placed on a desktop or by your bedside and filters the air in its immediate area. However, it can serve yet another very practical purpose for PC gamers: It minimizes the dust going into your gaming PC and reduces the frequency that you need to clean it out.
The Levoit 200S-P purifier measures only 8″x8″x12″. It’s officially rated for 104 square feet of space (like a bedroom, office, or gaming den), but for best results I would sit it right next to where you occupy the most, like on your desktop or next to your bed. The three-stage filtration system includes a pre-filter for larger particles, HEPA-type filter for particles as small as 0.1 microns, and a carbon filter for odor removal.
If you’ve owned a purifier before, you’re probably aware that the real cost of a purifier lies in the cost of filter replacements. Fortunately, the replacements for this purifier aren’t too expensive. For example, right now a 2-pack of filters costs about $19 and should be replaced every 8 months. This pack will reasonably last you about one and a half years, which equates to a very inexpensive cost of $1.19 per month.
The Levoit 200S-P also has smart functionality. It can wirelessly connect to an app on your smartphone, where you can change settings, set up schedules, and receive reminders for filter changes. That’s common nowadays in purifiers, but generally I see this feature in models that are much more expensive.
A proper gaming PC has plenty of airflow, and that air is inevitably going to bring in a lot of dust. The most common way of dealing with this is to install air filters in front of the intake fans. I personally do not like using filters. They reduce the amount of airflow going in and that progressively worsens as the filters get clogged. Proper maintenance eliminates that issue, but let’s be honest: Most gamers don’t clean out their case often enough.
I’ve personally done away with fan filters entirely. Instead, I stick my bedroom air purifier right next to my gaming PC so that the purifier’s exhaust flows right into the intake vents on my PC. Despite having no filters, I blow out my case only once a year and even then it’s really just a fine layer of dust that has accumulated. Of course, the additional side benefit (and the main benefit for most people) is that it also filters the air I’m breathing in.
